So... I've been holding off on this post because if I posted it while it was happening, I would be a sobbing mess. So yes, three months later, I finally post about the sale of my parent's house, and my childhood home. My parent's had talked about moving for about a decade or so. First it was a potential move to Florida, but when me, my sister, and brother started having kids, that changed pretty quickly, and we were all grateful to enjoy our holidays and summers back home and with our own kids in the house we grew to love. But everything good must come to an end, and the house and property started to become a bit too much. A few more years of talking about it happened, but once my dad actually showed my mom some new construction, she was easily sold! So then it happened all too quickly. They bought in a 55 plus right down the road, and then we seriously started talking about selling 243 Baker. I think I was still pretty much in denial through most of it. It really hit me during the professional photo shoot. With the rooms empty and only the memories left behind. From birthday parties, prom pictures, 4th of July Parties, the Luau, the many Christmases and Greek Easters, this house has been the mecca of entertainment and family togetherness. Mom and dad, thank you for raising us in this home and I know my kids enjoyed it too. Congratulations on your new home, and to 243 Baker, we bid you Farewell!
